Students in Kris Vass’ AP United States Government and Politics class visited the capital on Wednesday as part of their post-AP test activities and classwork. With this, many of the facts learned over...

The Massanutten Regional Governor’s School, owing to its small classes as well as its small overall population - consisting of two groups of 20 students per grade - is a very cohesive entity. In its...

It's time for another desktop application. In our trend of providing free and/or better alternatives to well-known software, I present Rainmeter. Rainmeter is what the weird little gadget things on...

Watching a Wes Anderson film, one should expect several choice adjectives to pop into one’s head: creative, well-shot, and fantastic. This is the case to the ultimate extent with his newest release,...

I have a complex relationship with memes. On one hand, I do think that they’re an interesting development in terms of internet culture, and they can be an efficient way to pseudo-humorously depict information....

Policy, Lincoln-Douglas, and Public Forum debate all advanced teams to regionals from their conference meets on March 15th, with two teams for Policy, one team for Public Forum, and two teams for Lincoln...

“Dallas Buyers Club” is the true story of a homophobic, drug-abusing, sex-addicted hustler who learns to love. I love this kind of story. From Gran Torino (in which Clint Eastwood plays a racist...

Those at James Madison University over the past weekend may have witnessed an unusual sight: a swarm of cars and people congregating around the ISAT (integrated science and technology) building on the...

“Her” is a love story. It’s the charming tale of how I fell in love with Spike Jonze. Spike found me, disparaged by my previous relationships with the likes of Baz Luhrmann and Gavin Hood. Most recently,...

It's time for another computer app (spoiler - it's because I don't actually have a phone), and so I thought I'd review one of my most used applications. I listen to music constantly, and as such it's...

The yearly HHS Musical production is no small feat. Aside from the obvious work done by the cast members and the directors, much of this happens behind the stage - and in the case of the musical’s pit...

This week’s app is a proper computer application - not some cell phone rubbish. It is legitimately very practical. One of the more famous applications in this age of doctored photos and computer media...

The recent cold weather has given students of HHS and the surrounding counties a slew of delays and cancellations. While the student population has almost entirely been appreciative of it, not all members...

The United States is one of the more religious countries in the developed world -- with 65% of our population reporting that religion is important to them. Spain, where I spent the first two months of...

A quick, pseudo-unprofessional note: this review is filled with spoilers. If you haven’t read the book, you should definitely read it and then read this review. Under no circumstances should you watch...

America. The greatest country on Earth. Except in healthcare (38th), education (134th), civil liberties (49th), freedom from corruption (22nd), life expectancy (49th), and happiness (21st). Hm. These statistics...
